These are the best burgers that you will have, and they are loaded with ingredients that will help you to stress bust your way through the week. Both the avocado and the turkey had amazing benefits that help with those stress levels.
Turkey is a great source of tryptophan, an amino acid (protein building block) that your body converts into serotonin. Tryptophan significantly decreased quarrelsome behaviors and increased agreeable behaviors and perceptions of agreeableness. So there you go, if you have argumentative family members, turkey burgers are the key!
My family loves this meal because they can assemble their own burger at the dinner table and customise it to their taste.
